JMT Tennis Coaching Diploma - PRO

Welcome to the JMT Tennis Coaching Diploma PRO (Level 2). This is a unique course which offers students the opportunity to obtain a Tennis Coaching Qualification (BTCA Level 2/3 equivalence) and to develop their new skills in a tennis camp environment. The course is 4-weeks long.

What is the aim of the course?

To develop coaches who can effectively coach groups in a professional tennis camp environment. At the end of the course, coaches should have the skills and experience to go anywhere in the world and effectively coach a small group of players.
